NOTICE

The basic Table of Limits, SSP2070 (including SSP2070-1, SSP2070-2, SSP2070-3 and SSP2070-3A) has been completely
revisedand reissuedherewith as SSP1776. It is now made up of the following four parts, each part contains five sections.

PART I DIRECT DRIVE ENGINES (Including VO and IVO-360)


PART II INTEGRAL ACCESSORYDRIVE ENGINES
PART III GEARED ENGINES
PART IV VERTICAL ENGINES (Excluding VO and IVO-360)

SECTIONI 500 SERIES CRANKCASE,CRANKSHAFT & CAMSHAFT


SECTIONII 600 SERIES CYLINDERS
SECTIONIII 700 SERIES GEAR TRAIN
SECTION IV 800 SERIES BACKLASH(GEAR TRAIN)
SECTIONV 900 SERIES TORQUE AND SPRINGS

This publication supersedes and replaces the previous publications SSP2070, SSP2070-1, SSP2070-2, SSP2070-3 and
SSP2070-3A; it is not to be used in conjunction with them. To make sure that SSP1776 will receive the attention of
maintenance personnel, a complete set of pages for the book is sent to all registered owners of Overhaul Manuals. These
recipients should remove all previous Table of Limits material from the Overhaul Manual and discard.

Additional copies of this revised Table of Limits, bound in a plastic cover, are available as indicated in the latest edition of
ServiceLetter No. L114.

Reference numbers in the Table of Limits vary from previous Table of Limits therefore, the current as well as the old
numbers are listed. The shaded columns contain the old reference numbers.

INTRODUCTION
SERVICE TABLE OF LIMITS
This Table of Limits is provided to serve as a guide to all service and maintenance personnel engaged in the
repair and overhaul of Textron Lycoming Aircraft Engines. Much of the material herein contained is subject to revi-
sion; therefore, if any doubt exists regarding a specific limit or the incorporation of limits shown, an inquiry should
be addressed to the Textron Lycoming factory for clarification.
DEFINITIONS:
Ref. (1st column) The numbers in the first column headed "Ref." are shown as a reference number
to locate the area described in the "Nomenclature" column. This number will be
found in a diagram at the end of each section indicating a typical section where
the limit is applicable.
Ref. (2nd column) Indicates the old reference number. There are no diagrams in this manual for
these numbers. These numbers are only to be found in previous publications.
Chart (3rd column) The letter or letter and number in this column are used as symbols to designate
engine models to which the specific limits is applicable. A list of the letter or
letter and number and the engine to which they refer is shown below.
Nomenclature (4th column) This is a brief description of the parts or fits specified in the adjacent columns
and indicated in the diagram at end of each section.
Dimensions (5th & 6th columns) The dimensions shown in column 5 are the minimum and maximum dimensions
for the part as manufactured. The dimensions shown in column 6 indicate the
limit that must not be exceeded. Unless it can be restored to serviceablesize, any
part that exceeds this dimension must not be rebuilt into an engine.
Clearance (7th & 8th columns) Like the dimensions shown in the 5th and 6th columns, the clearance represents
the fit between the two mating surfaces as controlled during manufacture and as
a limit for permissible wear. Clearances may sometimes be found to disagree
with limits for mating parts; for example, maximum diameter of cylinder minus
minimum diameter of piston exceeds limit for piston and barrel clearance. In
such instances, the specified maximum clearance must not be exceeded.
In some instances, where a parts revision has caused a dimensional or tolerance change, the superseded dimenional data has
been deleted from the list; provided compliance with the change is not mandatory.
Letters of the alphabet and numbers are used as symbols throughout the Table of Limits to represent specific
interpretations and to designate engine models. Letters in parenthesis refer to dimensional characteristics; letters (or
combinations of letters and numbers) without parenthesis indicate engine models. They are listed below with their separate
definitions.

(A) These fits are either shrink fits controlled by machining, fits that may readily be
adjusted, or fits where wear does not normally occur. In each case, the fit must
be held to manufacturing tolerance.
(B) Side clearance on piston rings must be measured with face of ring flush with
piston.
(D) The dimensions shown are measured at the bottom of the piston skirt at right
angles to the piston pin.
(E) Permissible wear of the crankshaft (rod and main bearing journals) to be minus
0.0015 on the diameter.
(L) Loose fit; wherein a definite clearance is mentioned between the mating
surfaces.
(T) Tight fit; shrink or interference fit.
(WD) Wide Deck Crankcase.

Introduction

The illustrations shown are typical of the referenced limit or fit described in the Table and in no instance are these
illustrations intended to represent a specific part or engine model unless specified. Also, the terms used to designate cylinder,
piston and ring materials such as "nitride, chrome, half-wedge" are more fully explained in the latest edition of Service
Instruction No. 1037.

not available, the hydraulic lifter may be disassembled as
follows: Insert a suitable tool into the socket and push the
plunger assembly until oil is forced out of the vent hole
and the pressure is released from the spring clip. Using a
pair of needle nose pliers remove the spring clip from the
lifter assembly. Remove the socket and plunger assembly

will appear to radiate from the center. Other scoring
marks may be present and extend to the center of the
face. The lifter with this condition must be replaced.

c. Lifter Face Wear-The operation of the lifter provides


that the lifter rotates during the wiping action of the
camshaft lobe. This action will form a groove or path
across the face of the lifter. Deeper penetration will be
noted at the center of the face. If the wear is excessive it
will be noticeable to the touch. if a fingernail is rubbed
across the lifter face. This condition reguires replace

nature seriously weakens the valve, making it liable to
failure. Any valve having a nick. with ragged edges more
than l/16 inch in length should not be reused. A nick or
tool mark of any sort in the keeper groove of an exhaust
valve is sufficient reason for not reusing the valve. See
figure 5-6.

dicate that the valve might be cracked. it should be in-
spected by a magnetic particle or dye pen&rant method.
Dye pa&rant procedures should be carried out strictly
within the recommendation of the manufacturer of the
penetrant.

should be examined for pitting and excessive wear. Minor
